Book Description

17 Mar 2011 0199583404 978-0199583409 3
Designed as an introduction to doing business research, this book acts as a comprehensive guide for students embarking on their research projects. The authors, together with real students and supervisors, draw on their own experiences so that readers can take note of their tips for success and avoid making their mistakes.

Developed specifically with business and management students in mind, this book explores the issues which business research entails, as well as providing students with practical advice on doing research. A new feature has been added to this edition that sees supervisors of research projects from various universities give guidance on how to decide on a project and see it through to a successful conclusion, avoiding common pitfalls. Other changes include the expansion of the discussion of ethics, an increased emphasis on practical content such as planning a project and writing it up, and a substantially updated chapter on internet research methods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for all students embarking on research 7 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am currently doing an Masters degree and out of all the books available, this is the one I purchased. I have to admit that it was worth getting.

Even though I prefer books which are concise and straight the point, considering the different contrasting concepts within the subject of research which need to be examined, this book had nearly every concept covered which I needed to study.

As a result it contributed to both of my graded assignments.

It might be heavily detailed but the benefit is that it provides something for every research student.

The book is well structured, nicely presented and provides in-depth focus on important topics.

Highly Recommended.

(Just remember that you should refer to numerous books rather than this one alone, if you want to get good marks).

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent summary of the subject 10 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
I own a previous edition which I bought for my MBA dissertation a while back. I am now using it extensively for a more general Masters programme in social research. It is an excellent, clear and readable summary of qualitative and quantitative research methods.

It is useful for my study. I have to use it before I start my essays. It has a good quality so that it is a little heavy.
